The Perfect End-of-Winter Food with the smokey flavour of chipolte peppers. Lentils are a rich source of both high-quality protein and carbohydrates and are low on the glycemic index. In addition to their perfect protein profile, they also nourish the kidneys and adrenal glands.

Gram for gram, lentils are even more efficient complete protein providers than red meat. Their protein is almost complete, so if you add a grain to one of your meals in the same day, your body will have all the essential amino acids it needs to make new proteins. The carbs found in lentils trickle slowly into the bloodstream, allowing adequate amounts of glucose to enter the bloodstream slowly giving you sustained energy throughout the day.
